Therapeutic insemination with fresh semen
Summary
This study investigated homologous artificial insemination outcomes. While pregnancy rates were 28.12%, a significant 24.07% abortion rate was observed, indicating potential challenges in maintaining pregnancy.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Medicine
- Infertility Treatment
- Human Reproduction
Background:
- Female infertility factors were ruled out, focusing the study on male factors and insemination techniques.
- Male factor infertility, including oligospermia and azoospermia, was prevalent in the studied population.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of homologous artificial insemination in couples with unexplained or male-factor infertility.
- To determine pregnancy and abortion rates associated with various insemination techniques.
Main Methods:
- Homologous fresh semen was used for artificial insemination.
- Insemination techniques included vaginal, intracervical, and intra-uterine deposition.
- Multiple insemination series (1-10) were performed during the ovulatory period.
Main Results:
- A pregnancy rate of 28.12% was achieved.
- The abortion rate was 24.07% among achieved pregnancies.
- Oligospermia was the most common spermogram abnormality in husbands (75.5%).
Conclusions:
- Homologous artificial insemination can achieve pregnancies but is associated with a high abortion rate.
- Further research is needed to optimize insemination protocols and reduce pregnancy loss.
- Male factor infertility significantly impacts the success of artificial insemination.
